For first bloom and first vegetables - experts depend largely upon started plants. These may be purchased from reliable •green ;houses in cats already grown or they may be grown by the gaadener himself from seed started indoors now. Seed of petunias, mari- golds, cosmos and such flowers rind tomatoes, cabbage, head lettuce and other vegetables are sown in, shallow boxes or little pots or paper boxes and started in sunny windows right away. The best soil for this purpose is a mixture of sand, fine earth and possibly a little rotted leaf mould. With plants that do not take kindly to transplantirug sometimes small in- tilvidual boxes or pots are used or sometimes special pester holders that have no bottom. • Then when the ground is warm outside 'either box and all are planted, or the pot is carefully removed leaving soil intact about the roots.

In 1909, wthen he commenced banding and tagging his transients with a view to charting their routes, of travel, he decided not only to put his address on the thary metal tags but also scriptural texts, so that all who find may read.

And a Late Finish In addition tousing started' plants the new gardener is also advised to spread his • sowing operations over several weeks, especially.so with veg- etables. One-third of the seed can be sown at the earliest possible date outside, one-third at the normal time and onethird two to three weeks lat- er than usual. This practice is per- fectly feasible with those long sea - season vegetables 'like corn, carrots, beets an,d it ensures the very fresh- est vegetables, just reaching matur- ity, all through late summer and fan. With early vegetables like peas and leaf lettute, however, where first growth 'in the cool part of the season is essential it is hest to sow all seed first thing in the spring. Harvesting season in this ...case is spread out by using at least one early, one medium and one late variety. To add still further to the season, it is possible to bring in just before the first eevere frost next fall, toma- toes, vines and all, celery, corn with the stalks attached and hang or 'store in some ;tool place like garage or cel- lar 'where the cobs or fruit will go on maturitg slowly for weeks after frost has blackened everything left outdoors.

No Matter how heavy or bow sandy the ground at ones disposal, some Want will find such .earth to its lik- ing nod in any cas-e so far as a small garden is concerned, it may be chang- ed to any type desired. Heavy. sticky clays are made loose and pliable by the addition of plenty of rotted leaves, or other vegetable matter which scientists term humus or fibre.

Many never need removal. Some even of insignificant -beginnings are nlanger- ous. It is of the highest im'portance bo determine the true character of 6nel-a growth or tumour, whether great or small whose existence is known or suspected. I'What Are Tumours? Elsewhere in these articles on can- cer it has been pointed out that the in Great Britain an election may hap- pen any day. On the other hand, legallO-though very few people re- alize thiel -it need never ;happen at all. • Since the day's of the jurist, laohn Austin, about a century ago, it 'has been generally recognized that the character of a community is decided by the nature of the power within the community in which supreme author- ity is vested. When the American .11evolution occurred, the founders of the Uoited States naturally were greatly influenced by their impres- sions of the Government of Britain -- a government which had caused them , eonsidera•ble amount of trouble. Tires,e impressions were in turn in- fluenced by eheee d•istinet loaves, all combining together to produce , one determined resolve. First of all, it seemed to tte colon- ists -as they still were in the early dues of the Revolution -that George 111 was the possessor of almost un- controlled and tyrannical power. He appeared to them to aet in, a manner quite arbitrary. This feeling was serengthened by the popularity among them of Blackstone's celebrated "Commentaries." Blackstone was a lawyer, and he described the royal prerogative in all its sheer •legal im- pressiveness, unquatifled.. by any re- cognition of the limitations imposed by constitutional practice. Thirdly, Americans of the eighteenth, century had an unbounded admiration for that excellent book by the French- man, Montesquieu, called "The Spirit of the Laws." Montesouieu also wrote of the king's prerogative as a tiring of r vast importance.

'Many of the tumours of women are simple and without danger. Nearly all tumours begin with ap- parently trivial symptoms.

It is arittoritouraging fact ;that among all tuthours of the human body there are noitewhieh so readily respond to early treatment as those peculiar to women. It is en- couraging too, that only 25 pet cent. or less,. of breast tumours, are can- cerous. . Tumours of the breast begin, as do tumours everywhere, as a single cell. A growth in the breast should be dis- oovered, when no larger than a bean. This is the moment for action. Viol character of the tumour should at once be determined. If cancerois, surgery is the best means of treat- ment. Surgery in these early cases of breast. tumour offers 90 per cent of cure. The delayed case may mean over 90 per cent. of failure.
